When the pursuit of doctoral studies and motherhood intersect, the risk of attrition increases. Although other studies have explored the challenges of student mothers in academia, this study looked ...at how mentorship might mediate them. This phenomenological study examined the mentoring experiences of doctoral student mothers or recent graduates in counselor education and supervision programs (N= 12). Unanimously, participants articulated that their professional identity was enhanced by their identity as mothers, but balancing multiple roles required supportive mentors. Participants described the personal qualities of effective faculty and peer mentors, many also mothers who understood their needs. Mentoring served as a protective factor in helping navigate barriers, providing academic and emotional encouragement, reducing isolation, and creating realistic timelines. Suggestions for mentoring programs and advocacy are discussed. Keywords: mentoring, doctoral student mothers, counselor education, phenomenology, advocacy

David L. Stocum, a scientist whose contributions to and impact on the field of regeneration and developmental biology are legendary, and likely more pervasive than many know, passed away on 21 April ...2023. His illustrious career, exploring and characterizing the fundamentals of limb regeneration in salamanders, spanned nearly 60 years. Much of his work dissecting the tissue-level logic of regeneration established the framework for the molecular investigation of regeneration taking place today. His generous spirit as mentor and colleague, encyclopedic understanding of the literature, and enthusiasm for each new discovery and its place within the larger picture of scientific understanding distinguishes him as a giant in the history of regenerative biology. David's career path, the transformative role his teachers and mentors played along the way, and his own role in inspiring the next generation of researchers speaks strongly to the importance and power of basic education to society.
